Aside from just the inspired words...some facts that I'm just now aware of making this "reconnection" with the poem somehow more special....Max's birthday (Sept 9) is very close to mine, so he was a Virgo...and was from Terre Haute, IN...which is less than an hour from my family's ROOTS....just sort of coinky-dinky to find all of this out....this time around.........
...Story of the Day...Old Spirit....
2 whole heads of garlic
2 medium onions, chopped
4 white potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks (2 lbs)
5 cups vegetable broth or water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
Freshly ground black pepper (optional)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Remove the loose papery skin from the garlic. Slice a thin
strip off the top of the head and discard. Place the garlic in a dry baking
dish and bake for one hour. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Place the onion is a large pot with a small amount of
liquid. Cook, stirring, over medium heat until the onion softens slightly,
about 3 minutes. Add the potatoes, broth or water and soy sauce. Bring to a
boil, cover and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.
Press the cooled garlic cloves out of the skins and discard
all the skins. Add the garlic to the soup pot. Continue to cook for 25 minutes,
until the potatoes are tender. Puree the soup in batches in a blender. Return
to the pan and heat through. Season with pepper, if desired.
Number of Servings: 5
